[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our K at Marshall road started at 24 and had 30 by Christmas.  It was waaaay too big to control.  [/quote]

Yikes.  That sounds chaotic.

But class sizes and whether schools are above or below capacity are different issues. If you have a small school with 60 kids in K or 1st grade, and it’s not a Title I school, you run the risk that you’ll end up with two classes each with 30 kids, even if the total number of kids leaves the school enrollment at 60-70% of building capacity.

I’m the Marshall Road poster. There were four kindergarten classes that year(2019?) I believe…I could be wrong it might been three… Each class was between 28 and 30 by Christmas.  It was not a good situation but the teachers and aides did the best they could. The aids made a difference as if they were children with behavior issues they would focus on controlling them. Unfortunately 30 kids in kindergarten usually rolls into about the same number in first grade but there’s one less adult in the room since there’s no aides.  The classes  are too damn big. [/quote]
